Whats is Pot Bearings?

POT bearings are structural bearings which support vertical and horizontal loads and permit limited
rotation around any horizontal axis and have therefore, an extremely wide range of applications. ...
Guided bearings allow movement in one horizontal direction and provide restraint in the other direction.

Whys Uses Pot Bearings?

A bridge bearing is a component of a bridge which typically provides a resting surface


between bridge piers and the bridge deck. The purpose of a bearing is to allow controlled movement and
thereby reduce the stresses involved. ... The oldest form of bridge bearing is simply two plates resting on
top of each other.

How do elastomeric bearings work?

An elastomeric bridge bearing is a commonly used modern bridge bearing. ... Elastomeric bearing pads


compress on vertical load and accommodate horizontal rotation and provide lateral shear
movement. Elastomeric bearing pads are the most economical solution used in construction of large span
bridges and buildings.
